Belmont Stakes 2013: Golden Soul's Breeze Delayed

Golden Soul, runner-up to Orb
in the Kentucky Derby, was scheduled
to breeze at Churchill Downs on Saturday morning, but trainer
Dallas Stewart called an audible and delayed serious training for another few days.

“He had a really good day galloping,
but I passed on working him this morning,” Stewart said. “He ran a great
race in the Derby, but it was a hard race on him and his appetite is
still coming back.”

“I was going to give him two works,
but now I’m looking at just one,” Stewart said. “I’ll likely breeze him
the middle of this week on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. That will
give him about eight or nine days between the
work and the race.”

Golden Soul, a chestnut son of
Perfect Soul-IRE, has a record of 1-3-0 from six starts with earnings of
$517,400. His lone victory came when he broke his maiden by 7 ¼ lengths
at Fair Grounds in December.
